In Coronado, Proposition H was opposed by 69.6 percent of voters with absentee ballots counted. The advisory measure asked voters if the city should continue to seek federal, state and local money to complete a study on ways to mitigate traffic congestion, including construction of a tunnel between the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge and Naval Air Station North Island. City officials have said it will cost $2 million to complete the study.
